To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then add the onion, red and green bell peppers, cilantro, parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Next, unroll the pie crusts and cut each one into 4 equal pieces. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture onto one half of each piece of dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative pattern.
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
